Just a quick update on our doctor appointment yesterday.  Turns out both girls have ear infections, Alethea in one ear and Lydia in both.  The doctor said this is Lydia’s last chance at antibiotics.  If the infection won’t clear up, or if it clears but she gets another one in the near future, it will be off to the ENT for tubes.  I’m not thrilled about the idea of tubes, but would much rather that than endless antibiotics.  So I guess it’s a waiting game at this point.

On a side note, Alethea’s current weight is 28lbs (35th percentile) and Lydia’s is 25 lbs 4oz (96th percentile).  Since they are less than three pounds different in weight, they’re taking the same dosage of medication now.  Makes it easy to remember how much to give!
